Los Angeles Kings vs Detroit Red Wings Prediction: Expect a high-scoring encounter

Los Angeles has won three straight and made it to second place in the Western Conference. Will the Kings be able to build on their success in a home game against Detroit? Let’s find out!

The Kings are off to a great start in the championship, showing that making the playoffs last season was not a fluke. Todd McLellan's team comes into the match against Detroit with a three-game winning streak, having beaten Florida, Minnesota and Chicago during that stretch. And Los Angeles already has 9 wins in 16 games. The team is second in the Western Conference standings, behind only Vegas Golden Knights.

At the start of the season, Detroit has lived up to the expectation that the team will contend for the long-awaited playoff spot so far this season. Though the Red Wings suffered a devastating 3-8 loss to the New York Rangers in their previous game, they have seven wins in 14 games overall and sit in a tie for sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Twelve of L.A.'s 16 games in this league have been high-scoring. Bet on TO (5.5) for 1.805 at 1xbet.

Two of the five previous head-to-head encounters between Detroit and Los Angeles ended in a draw in regulation time. Betting on another draw is estimated at odds of 4.33 by Betway.

Both teams show quality offensive hockey at the start of the season. All but four of the King's games have been productive. The Red Wings, on the other hand, have played five of their six high-scoring games on the road. Why shouldn't the opponents please hockey fans with plenty of goals again? All the more so at the beginning of the season, the teams bear little or no responsibility for the outcome.

Betting options:

• TO (5.75) for 1.90;
• Each Team TO (2.5) for 3.10;
• X+TO (5.5) for 8.50.
